Grupa Azoty Fosfory, a subsidiary of Polish fertilizer and chemicals group Grupa Azoty, SA, Tarnów, has opened an R&D center for biofertilizers at its Gdańsk-based plant.
“The decision to open an R&D center for biofertilizers was made considering the group’s extensive experience in fertilizer formulations that address the needs of sustainable agriculture and is a further step in the Azoty group’s plans to expand its portfolio in the Agro segment,” the group said in a Feb. 23 media statement.
“With its competencies and technological facilities, Grupa Azoty Fosfory will serve as the Azoty group’s competence center for biofertilizers,” it said.
Upcoming projects for the new R&D center include the development of a technology for manufacturing organic-mineral fertilizers or the development of a new technology for manufacturing fertilizers using biomass ash.
